I wanted to set up multiple websites on IIS. I thought I'd actually found an answer, but ultimately it just messed up IIS. See, in windows 2000 Server, and maybe win 2000 as well - I'm not sure - you could host more than one website on your computer. This functionality was removed from Windows XP, for some reason. The script for creating an extra website still exists, but you can't run them both at the same time, so you have to resort to Virtual Directories. I think this is fixed in Vista, but I'm not sure. Score 1,000,000 for Apache. DotNetNuke, however, only runs on IIS. Hrnph.
Well, I tried, and things didn't quite work the way I wanted them to, so I tried going back to the original configuration.
Argh.
I had moved (stupid, stupid) my DNN dev directory to the 2nd website folder. So when I wanted to switch it back, VWD Express went apeshit. Nothing would compile, everything reported missing Import statements and unfamiliar data structures... I tried the other DNN and it worked fine, so I tried moving the TimePunch module over there.
Again VWD blew smoke.
What finally worked was zipping the TimePunch files, recompiling the dnndev project, seeing it load, then unzipping theTimePunch modules again, and recompiig everything so this timeit works. Don't knowhow or why, but that did it. I hope. For now.
